Upon hearing this, Xu Lingyue's worries lessened somewhat!

As long as this attendant delivers the message, the eldest princess should be able to save Brother Su.

I hope Brother Su can hold on.

……

Star Observation Tower.

The supervisor, with his white hair like frost and dressed in white robes as white as snow, is playing chess with someone.

There are not many people qualified to play against the supervisor.

And on the other side, there happened to be one of the few people in the human world.

Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan had a refined and elegant appearance, and was deep and reserved. He wore a sky-blue robe embroidered with intricate cloud patterns, his black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, and his temples were frosty white.

His eyes were deep, revealing the vicissitudes of time.

"Has Your Excellency the Supervisor been paying close attention to the human world during this period?"

As Wei Yuan placed his piece, he said calmly.

"My old eyes are failing, I can't see clearly anymore."

The supervisor then made his move.

Then the two quickly placed their pieces and remained silent for a long time.

"The leader of the Earth Sect has fallen into demonic possession."

"Things reach their extreme and then reverse; how easy is it to achieve immortality through merit?"

"Wei has received information that there are still remnants of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom lurking in the capital."

"They're all minor characters."

"Recently, the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom have been making moves around the capital. In a few days, it will be the day His Majesty worships his ancestors. The Supervisor must keep a close eye on the capital."

"...

"The banditry in Yunzhou is getting worse and worse, and His Majesty has no intention of suppressing the bandits, which is worrying."

"..."

Later on, the supervisor spoke less and less, and it was Wei Yuan who asked the questions.

The two players made their moves very quickly, almost without needing to think.

Before long, black and white pieces covered the entire chessboard.

draw.

Wei Yuan then raised his head and revealed his purpose.

"What are your thoughts, Supervisor, on the alchemist behind the tax silver scandal?"

The supervisor waved his hand, causing the chessboard in front of him to disappear.

He did not answer the question, but instead stared at Wei Yuan:

“Back when you were practicing martial arts, I predicted that a second-rank cultivator would emerge from the Great Feng Dynasty, but in the end you paid for your own cultivation.”

Why not follow the Confucian path?

Wei Yuan shook his head: "It's meaningless."

"Twenty-five years ago, I asked you if you would like to become my disciple."

"Wei is a heartless sorcerer."

The supervisor remained silent for a moment.

Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan, do you know that your decision has changed the entire future?

The supervisor turned his head and looked down at the bustling capital city below.

He suddenly smiled.

"The Ministry of Justice has really stirred up a hornet's nest."

Wei Yuan also looked down.

Although I don't know what happened, it must be an interesting thing for the supervisor to say that.

"What's the matter?"

The supervisor glanced at Wei Yuan.

You're not even my disciple, so why should I talk to you?

"This matter has already become quite a spectacle."

"You night watchmen shouldn't get involved."

Wei Yuan nodded, then rose and bid farewell to the supervisor.

Chapter 18: We can't beat them in a fight, so we have to keep it a secret. [Seeking flowers and monthly tickets]

Yunlu Academy, the elegant pavilion on the back mountain.

The elegant pavilion is surrounded by dense bamboo groves and is adjacent to the Six-Tier Waterfall. It is the place where Dean Zhao Shou secluded himself for cultivation.

A simple tea room.

An elderly man dressed in hemp clothing was sitting opposite Princess Huaiqing, drinking tea.

The old man's gray hair was casually draped over his shoulders, giving him a somewhat unkempt yet carefree and unrestrained air.

Who would have thought that this old man dressed as a down-on-his-luck Confucian scholar is the current dean of Yunlu Academy?

The leading figure of contemporary Confucianism.

"It's been half a year since I last saw you, Dean. You've gotten quite a few more gray hairs," Huaiqing said in a cool voice.

"They're all just strands of worry."

Zhao Shou gave a self-deprecating laugh.

He has been in seclusion in this elegant pavilion for so many years, yet he has still been unable to break through the stone tablet of the Second Sage that suppresses Yunlu Academy.

This is Dean Zhao Shou's greatest regret in his life!

Yunlu Academy was built by a sage and is the orthodox institution of the Confucian and Taoist system.

However, its fortune was suppressed for three hundred years by a stone tablet!

For three hundred years, the students of Yunlu Academy have been unable to hold their heads high!

Despite having been in seclusion for many years, Zhao Shou had to admit that he probably didn't have the ability to break the stone tablet.

The banished immortal Su Nan, who was famous in the capital, was once highly regarded by Zhao Shou.

With such talent, if he were to study the Confucian system, he would surely pave a great path to success for the students of Yunlu Academy!

Therefore, Zhao Shou sought out Su Nan several times, intending to invite him to join Yunlu Academy.

Unfortunately, they were all rejected.

If the other party is unwilling, Zhao Shou can't force Su Nan to do it, can he?

Actually... Zhao Shou had indeed considered this possibility.

A year ago, he simply couldn't take it anymore.

So he quietly went down the mountain to the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment district) with the intention of forcibly kidnapping Su Nan!

He didn't want to see Su Nan wasting his talent in a place like the Jiaofangsi.

As a result, an embarrassing thing happened.

He never fought...

Like most people, Zhao Shou thought Su Nan was just a charming but weak scholar.

This person has never entered any cultivation system!

result.

He simply couldn't beat Su Nan.

Even now, recalling the room filled with the sharp sword intent, Zhao Shou still feels terrified.

Compared to being approached by a crude martial artist, the countless sword intents are more frightening!

Zhao Shou was horrified when he learned the truth.

Su Nan did not practice any particular system, but instead carved out his own path of cultivation!

kendo!

What does it mean to be exceptionally talented? What does it mean to be exceptionally gifted?

If this matter were to get out, it would likely shake the world!

Since then, Zhao Shou has never considered inviting Su Nan again.

This child possesses extraordinary wisdom, bordering on the supernatural. He has managed to forge his own unique path of cultivation, which is truly defying the heavens!

Zhao Shou also kept silent about this matter and never mentioned it to a third party.

Su Nan was cultivating his swordsmanship at the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau), and naturally, he had to keep the secret for this young junior.

This is the virtue of a gentleman.

Therefore, even with the eldest princess, Zhao Shou did not reveal a single word.

"If the Dean could agree to the position in the Qingzhou Office of Transmission, that would be wonderful," Huaiqing said calmly.

"Your father has invited you to serve in the government because he intends to reinstate Yunlu Academy. If you are thinking of the students of Yunlu Academy, you should accept the offer."

Not long ago, the imperial court ordered Zhao Shou to take up the post of Director of the Qingzhou Administration Office.

As a result, Zhao Shou refused to take office and wrote to the court, recommending the hermit of Ziyang.
